Yes, some are proofs (60,61,62,63), should have said that in my original post. All but 5 or 6 were in slabs until I freed them. I actually started out with the proofs and then bought the others as I could, some got fairly expensive. It took me about 6 months to complete.

Very nice set,this is going to be my next set. I want to get the proofs first. I already have '54-'63. When I get '50-'53 I'm gonna start on the business strikes and I hope they are as nice as your set. A+++

Beautiful set, I'm envious! Don't have these, but have given it consideration several time. Your post and pictures (thanks for sharing) have me really wanting to start one. Don't think I'll go for the real high grade as you did. You sure did get it together real fast - any real good sources you care to share would be appreciated.

Congrats! This was my 1st completed set as well but not nearly as nice as the one you finished. What's next?

I have actually just finished a jefferson set, most from roll hunting but several ms grade coins. I am also working on mercs (need about 10 to finish), Ikes, Kennedys, Morgans, 7070, Roosevelts, Washingtons and just starting Lincolns. I have way to much going on. I got it bad.

Somehow I got going on multiples of the same sets. Like I did a Kennedy set. Then started a second. In the mean time I got good deals on a couple of partial sets on ebay. Now I have 4 complete Kennedy sets and a 5th almost done. :-)
